Her grueling road to recovery will soon take
Robin Roberts back to the
Good Morning America anchor desk.

Appearing from her home on the show yesterday, Roberts, 52, wore a broad smile as she announced
that her most recent bone-marrow test showed no sign of myelodysplastic syndrome, the
life-threatening disease that has kept her off the air since Aug. 30.

She hopes to be back “in weeks, not months” — perhaps as soon as February.

“I’m coming home,” she declared during a festive appearance as
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough played in the background.
